Beyond a mere investigation of practices, this research aspires to make a substantial
contribution to the ongoing discourse surrounding the broader role of translanguaging in education.
By shedding light on its multifaceted implications and potential benefits, the study aims to elevate
understanding of how translanguaging can impact not only pedagogical approaches but also
assessment methodologies. The goal is to provide insights that extend beyond immediate
application, contributing substantially to the broader conversation about the seamless integration of
translanguaging in educational practices.
Moreover, this study seeks to lay a solid foundation for establishing accurate intervention
measures for the successful and appropriate inclusion of translanguaging within the context of
Purposive Communication teaching and learning processes based from the responses from these
questionnaires. It aims to offer practical guidelines and considerations that educators and
policymakers can utilize to enhance language instruction and assessment practices, ensuring a
comprehensive and effective integration of translanguaging in the educational landscape. In
